Warriors forward Dominique Peyroux will miss the club’s season-opener against Parramatta after entering an early guilty plea to a dangerous contact charge on Wednesday.

Peyroux is free to participate in the Auckland Nines this weekend, as well as the Warriors’ trial against Brisbane in Dunedin, NZ on February 23.
